Senior .net Backend Developer

We are partnered with an independent German mobile game studio in their search for a Senior .net Backend Developer to join their team.

With live titles which have attracted millions of players worldwide, you will build and operate the backends behind their games, which are played by well over 5 million daily active users.

You will own features from start to finish, from design through implementation, to production rollout. You will also help keep services reliable, optimize for performance and cloud costs as our games grow.

What you will do:

• Build new backend features across their game portfolio and extend existing ones, including cloud saves, leaderboards, chat and more collaborative and competitive game features
• Own services in production, including deployments, troubleshooting and incident resolution
• Optimize performance, scalability and costs while keeping systems reliable
• Work closely with game developers on feature integration, jumping into Unity client code when needed
• Communicate decisions, tradeoffs, risks and progress clearly, and follow through on the work you take on

• Professional experience building backends with C# and .NET
• Hands-on experience operating cloud applications at large scale, including investigating and resolving production issues
• A solid understanding of distributed, stateful systems
• High ownership: you’ll take initiative, drive features forward and improve our systems
• Willingness to work on the client side when a feature needs it, including in Unity
• Excellent written and spoken English

Tech stack

The backends are built using C#/.NET and ASP.NET Core. Many features are built using Microsoft Orleans. The backends are running on top of GCP / GKE. PostgreSQL, Cloud Storage, and BigQuery are also part of the mix - overlap with the tech stack is of course a big plus
